The Chief of Defence Staff, Christopher Musa, has revealed that terrorists are reportedly impregnating women every four months after giving birth to breed new fighters.

This move is part of the insurgents strategies to perpetuate violence. Musa made this known in an interview on Arise Television on Monday, January 13, 2025.

The CDS noted that the terrorists previously relied on capturing communities and forcibly recruiting men, however, the loss of their territories has caused them to adopt a different approach.

Musa explained that this was evident in the number of those who surrendered to troops, noting that out of 120,000 terrorists who surrendered after claiming to have repented, half were children.

According to the CDS, the children would be more brutal and perpetrate heinous crimes than their parents if not tamed.

He said, “Over 120,000 terrorists surrendered. Out of this number, over 60,000 are children. Now, what were the terrorists doing in the past?

“They used to capture communities and then force men, especially adults, to join them, whether they liked it or not. If you refuse, they behead you, so you have no choice.

“But now that it has become difficult, that they don’t have any territory, they don’t have a means of doing that, they now decided to start impregnating the women repeatedly.

“If a woman gives birth, four months after, they impregnate her again. They were trying to produce a new set of terrorists.

“Those kids, growing up in a society where killing, beheading, and all sorts of heinous acts are rampant, will lack empathy and sympathy. They see these acts as normal.”
